Harrogate Town

A remarkable achievement. The smallest club to ever reach the Football League?

A great achievement followed up by a very decent start to the season as well, moving up to 4th in the table after last night's victory at Grimsby. Away to Col U on Saturday, shame that I won't be there to see it. Or any other game anytime soon it would sadly appear.

Watched the game online, Harrogate were by far the better team and we were very fortunate to emerge with all 3 points. If they continue in that form, I fully expect to see them up there challenging for a play-off spot at the end of the season at least. (If in these Covid-19 times this season gets completed of course!)

This thread had somehow passed me by until now. Belated congrats to Harrogate on reaching the Football League.

I watched them early last season at Woking in what I still call the Conference. Harrogate lost to the heavily deflected only goal of the game but still looked a more than decent outfit. Their supporters had a lovely line in self-mocking humour chanting, ''We're just a town of tea shops!''
